[R] Comparing GAM objects using ANOVA

[Fabien.Fivaz@ie-zea.unil.ch]

Hi,

Is it possible to compare two GAM objects created with the gam() function from the mgcv package. I use a slightly modified version of anova.glm() named anova.gam(), modified from John Fox (2002). It often gives me some aberant responses, especially with "F" test. I use a quasibinomial model and scale (dispersion) is calculated and used in the calculation of the F value. Does someone already tried this or does someone knows if all this is theoretically possible ?

Best wishes,

Fabien Fivaz
